Kelly2016-08-20T00:00:00Z

It was great, Judy and her family were a very welcoming hosts. We were greeted with freshly baked cake and a friendly Alpaca. The kitchen had everything we needed including a bunch of unexpected treats. They even noticed we'd left our swimmers on the line and someone brought them in before they got rained on. Comfy bed, and loved the bookshelf that doubles as a door.

Hi Judy & Warren, What a fabulous hideaway.........We loved it ! Thanks for making us feel truly welcome and letting us share a little of your Paradise. Clean air, water, quiet; the essences of life in abundance. Now planning to return..... soon! Generosity with vision, skills of but a fortunate few !

Guido2016-01-29T00:00:00Z

Judy was an excellent friendly and accommodating host who accepted our booking at the last moment. The breakfast was wonderful and the little shack was large and cosy. Will definitely stay again when in the area. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

This is a dwelling house set on 100 acres. Very private and clean rooms with two double and two single beds. You have no close neighbours and access to the farm for walks. There is birdlife, rain forest, clean air, a very comfortable home never occupied except for airbandb guests and great views with great access to all sorts of nearby Southern Highland activities. If you have a little dog it is also pet friendly. If the chooks have laid eggs which is likely - grab them for breakfast!

The Top House is simple form but super cosy inside. You can hide away with a wood fuel fire and watch the flames dance. You can watch tv or a video. The beds are cosy and the setting is quiet in nature. Take a walk to see the views of the Tasman Sea. Observe the cows. Have fresh eggs for breakfast if the girls are laying. It's great fun in a nature setting. Watch out for the wedge tails

There are many day attractions in Southern Highlands. Art Galleries, vineyards,
Good coffee and food. Cycling walking sight seeing - it's up to you. I like the clean air at 3000 feet and the birds and cool climate. Especially in winter

The house is clean and comfortable. The bedrooms are decorated beautifully. The wood burner is great and really essential in winter. There is lots of outdoor space for walks and kids to run around which we really enjoyed.

Kirsty2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

If it’s a getaway for a group of friends or a family, then our private, fully self-contained 2 bedroom/2 bathroom Lodge might be more your ideal.

With 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, Daybreak Lodge has the space and facilities so everyone is comfortable. Upstairs is the mezzanine level bedroom with a king split bed & sofa bed, downstairs is the main bathroom long with the 2nd bedroom & ensuite. Both bedrooms have the option to have king beds or king split bed (2 singles).

The Drawing Rooms is named after a spectacular rock formation on the hill-top that looks over this magnificent property. Surrounded by forest and velvet-green pastures that topple into the valleys below, Drawing Rooms of Berry combines style, absolute tranquillity, wildlife galore, and a truly spectacular setting.
Choose DRB as your base from which to explore Berry and Kangaroo Valley markets, shops and cafes or perhaps one of the seven local wineries, golf courses, adventure activities or bush walks - including our favourite Drawing Room Rocks walk.

Accommodation was fair to average. Doesn't have a fireplace & gas heater wasn't working. Air conditioning for heating only. Great location, reasonably private & self service check in & out worked fine.

Had a great weekend away with friends here - great layout and amenities, close enough to shops (Berry is about a 10min drive) but with plenty of walking trails etc. close by. No hesitation recommending this place to anyone looking for a relaxing weekend out of the city.

Some of the rainforest plants and ferns one finds look as if they have been untouched for centuries.
Alternatively, one can walk or cycle down to the winery then further down Upper River Road, past the Kangaroo Valley community hall and working dairy farms into the charming little village of Kangaroo Valley.
In terms of serenity, seclusion and tranquillity, this property is unbeatable.

Erin2017-07-13T00:00:00Z

A very relaxing time away. Very quiet, peaceful and private. Rooms very spacious and clean. View is stunning. Bathrooms are massive. Feels like it is very removed from everything... But actually very close (5min drive) to centre of berry for restaurants and shops. Netflix in the rooms was appreciated and speedy wifi!

Jasmin2016-03-07T00:00:00Z

Mt Hay retreat was a special experience. It is located at the top of a mountain and really is secluded away. You feel like you're on your own. It is pricey, but you are paying for a special experience.

Winduga is close to family-friendly activities such as picnics by the river, walking, tennis in Berry, kayaking in Kangaroo Valley, bushwalking to Drawing Room Rocks or just playing Monopoly by the fire. You’ll love Winduga because of the views, the ambience, and the great unspoilt outdoors. Winduga is good for couples, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets).

You can enjoy and explore 160 acres of bush, paddocks and a pristine river to swim, spot platypus, wallabies, wombats and feed the king parrots. Enjoy the quiet serenity of a salt water pool with amazing views or a leisurely bath in solar heated spring water. Stargaze at the Southern Cross while cooking a barbeque and watch the moon rise over the sandstone escarpment - all only 2.5 hours from Sydney and 10 minutes from Berry. The cottage is comfortable with a rustic theme. The kitchen is well equipped, plenty of books, DVDs and games are on the shelves for your enjoyment and the newly renovated bathroom is a treat.

You will come for the view and want to stay for the tranquility. The cycling is excellent and challenging, the cafes, bakeries and restaurants in Berry are recommended and the beaches at nearby Gerroa and Jervis Bay are superb.

Charming house in a beautiful location. Instructions from Amanda were clear on how to find the house. View from pool is amazing as the view from the back of the house. A truly lovely spot if you want to unwind.

Gail2016-12-21T00:00:00Z

The house is set is a lovely spot - the view is spectacular - and the house has some nice old features but the bedroom configuration and some of the house details weren't ideal for our group of two couples and two kids. It would suit people looking for a rustic escape with lovely views.

Annabel2017-02-26T00:00:00Z

Great location and view but the rules around dogs not being allowed in the house (except tiled floors) need to clear before paying. House was musty and could have done with a good clean.

Jennifer2017-08-08T00:00:00Z

Rustic, charming farmhouse in an incredible location. Perhaps not for those looking for accommodation that is shiny and new, but perfect for those seeking a break in a idyllic surrounds.

Nathan2017-01-05T00:00:00Z

Beautiful property, great for a getaway and an easy drive to Berry for delicious food and coffee.

Alyce2017-03-04T00:00:00Z

This is a lovely little cottage in a secluded valley, only a short drive from Berry. The view is beautiful and it's super quiet. We were down for a family party nearby so we didn't get a chance to walk around the farm and surrounds much but it would be nice to return and spend a bit more time.

Louise2017-04-01T00:00:00Z

Amanda's farm is a secluded haven, perfect for those looking to escape and switch off. The views over the valley and breathtaking and we were very comfortable passing the time sitting on the verandah, soaking it all in. The house is basic but well equipped. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. The town of Berry, with great cafes, restaurants, and shops, is only about 10 minutes away.

Big comfy bed, TV with DVDs, heated flooring, and huge windows facing north and out into the hills... photos don't do this place justice. You will love it :) and Mike is a lovely guy who will be more than happy to chat to you about what you can get upto in Berry.

We had a fantastic time staying at Carla and Ian's cottage. The place was very clean and had absolutely everything we needed. And in fact, it had much more than that. We were excited to find some fresh herbs in the kitchen, as well as fresh eggs from the chooks. We very much enjoyed sitting outside, enjoying the view, and listening to the birds. Carla and Ian made us feel very welcome. There is also plenty to do in the area, so we hope to come back at some point to explore some more. Thanks for the great weekend!

Tipped off by a birding friend, I found Boobook Cottage to be every bit as good as promised. We arrived straight from steamy Sydney into the misty coolness of Berry Mountain and Bellawongarah. The location was easy to find during the day but you might have to take it slowly to find the sign at night and avoid local wildlife. The cottage and the owner’s house nearby sit on a large open lawn surrounded by stunning old growth eucalypts and rainforest. The house was extremely clean and neat and we loved it at first sight: a bath for long soaks, well-equipped kitchen and thoughtful starters including farm fresh eggs (although it is a quick trip back to Berry’s restaurants – South on Albany was excellent), shady side veranda and knock-out views from the couch into the forest. The bedroom upstairs was clean and bright and we slept soundly, woken only by bird song in the morning. Our hosts Carla and Ian were helpful but never intrusive – if prompted Carla is happy to share her expertise on the local birds and wildlife. The bird life was even better than I expected – sitting by the bird bath one morning for an hour or so I must have seen close to 30 different species – many of which are endangered or not seen easily. There are a number of walks into different micro-climates where you can track down the calling lyrebirds or the Black Cockatoos – there is always something new around the corner. We will be back, hopefully very soon.

Carla and Ian are both friendly, helpful and happy to share their knowledge about the local area and wildlife for those new to discovering the area. They have a beautifully kept pocket of remnant rainforest, trails and paddock which pictures cannot do justice. It was a pleasure walking the trails and being left to discover the place with a map of the property. The cottage is extremely comfortable and warm with a fire and firewood supplied, you do not need to venture out if you don't want too as the many windows bring nature indoors. Basic condiments and cooking staples were supplied plus free range eggs from Carla and Ian's own chickens, a delicious treat. I have already recommended Boobook cottage to others and can't wait to return.

Julie2017-03-25T00:00:00Z

Our weekend away at Boobooka met all our expectations. The booking and arrival process, and liaising with Carla was easy. If you are looking for something away from the bustle of downtown Berry then this place is perfect. The cottage is beautiful and the surroundings are stunning. Finished to perfection, it is clean and has everything you need to bunker down for the weekend. Stock up on supplies as you have a full kitchen to take advantage of, and a gorgeous fire to sit, read and relax by which warms the whole place. The weather was a little rainy so we didn't get to enjoy the amazing rainforest walks but it actually didn't matter. Without doubt we look forward to our next visit. Thank you for making it a perfect weekend Carla and Ian.

This place is really special and particularly good for an escape from city life. It feels remote, yet is only a short drive to Berry for cafes, restaurants and shops. The accommodation is as in the photos and it's beautiful to open up the doors and look at the bushland. The hosts' house is close by but this isn't an issue at all and they are super friendly and helpful. There are some special touches which were very much appreciated e.g. eggs from their chickens. You can go for walks from the property and there's a handwritten guide in the property. Even though we went in Summer I think it would be perfect for a Winter getaway where you could light the fire and enjoy the scenery. As mentioned Optus reception is patchy but was reliable in the carport area so if you are desperate to stay connected it's possible. All in all we loved staying there and hope to be back soon.

Misty Trees Cottage is a Cedar house on a beautiful 1 acre, surrounded by rainforest. Wombats, Wallabies and kangaroos call this place home.
The property is great for families with a large yard perfect for outside activities. There is a small swing on the yard edge. The house has a large main bedroom with ensuite has a King sized bed. Fold out beds are available for extra small children. The second room also has a King bed. The third room is set as two single beds, however is a split King bed. All rooms look out onto the bush land or gardens. The gardens are tranquil and well maintained with gorgeous Japanese maples and a host of beautiful plants and trees.
All fresh linen and towels are provided.
Soaps and Shampoo/Conditioners also supplied.
There is inside dinning table for 8 and an 2 outside dinning spaces.
The kitchen is well resourced with appliances and crockery for in house cooking and dinning.

Jamberoo is a beautiful mountain, which is very quiet. Great for fireplace warmth with close friends or family and in summer a large lawn and close drive to beaches. Surrounded by amazing bush walks in national parks, all a short drive away. A Gem!!

Oh my God... what a place to stay. It is a 5* accommodation with all the facilities you can think of. Thank you so much for the Hospitality and happy wives weekend outing. Couple of families can easily share the whole place. Surrounded by nature at its best. A bigggggg thumbs up..

Krunal2017-05-27T00:00:00Z

Erica was an excellent host, with great communications. The house was clean and well looked after. The grounds are gorgeous, with lots of room the kids to run around, it also had a swing and flying fox. Thanks for a very enjoyable stay. Leanne

Leanne2016-03-09T00:00:00Z

We loved staying here. We have a toddler and baby and the house had everything we needed. The backyard is just amazing and my little boy loved exploring out there. We spotted wombats, kookaburras, owls and with much excitement a couple of lyrebirds! The house is nicely hidden away, yet only a short drive down the mountain into Jamberoo. Would happily stay here again. Note that phone reception isn't great- but that can be a good thing!

Sally2016-01-15T00:00:00Z

Our family had a very enjoyable stay over two nights at this cedar cottage, which is hidden away but only a short drive from Robertson or Jamberoo, and close to Kiama and beaches. The property is in a beautiful rural setting, a partially cleared area with wonderful gardens, on the side of the mountain. It is an ideal location for a family stay, peaceful and private, away from the noise and crowds. It is centrally located for exploring the highlands or the coastline. The house was very clean and well looked after. It is a very spacious house, well equipped with all the mod cons, facilities and utensils you need. Even the smaller items such as small non-perishable food items and condiments. This was very much appreciated by us on our arrival. We had planned to drive back out for our evening meal, but the deteriorating weather changed our minds and, as we had only brought some nibblies with us, we found sufficient items to add to these for a meal. Although a large house with a great living area for a group or family, it was still warm and cosy on the very cold nights we stayed there. Even with the strong winds blowing outside, we still felt safe and comfortable. We had an ample supply of wood for the slow combustion heater and sensor lights along the verandah, which were invaluable when collecting more firewood during the night. We were mostly in the cottage at night, but still managed to see wrens, kookaburras, lyrebirds and wombats. The outdoor furniture and settings looked very inviting. A shame we could not use them at night in the cold weather we had. I have no complaints about the property at all, however if we had stayed longer than 2 nights I would have been looking for a way to turn off the timer switch for the 2 driveway lights and have absolute darkness!! Erica was an excellent host and very easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend it for people wanting the tranquillity.

Lynn2016-06-27T00:00:00Z

"Mistytrees" was fabulous. The house is wonderful, the garden is great and we even had a wombat visit us in the evenings. There is plenty to do in the surrounding areas - loads of gorgeous walks, and the beaches aren't too far away either. We would love to go back straight away!

alyson2016-01-09T00:00:00Z

The description of the place is spot on – if you are looking for a “getaway” this is it! It’s serene and quiet and beautiful. If wanting to escape humanity – this is the place to go to. The house itself is very well equipped with everything you might need for your stay. We had a beautiful time and managed to keep a 8 yo and 15 yo entertained for our entire stay. Everyone in our party were agreed that we had to go back!

Ashwini2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

Perfect place for a secluded get away. 5 stars!

Zaac2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

The house and setting are spectacular. We loved it! We were so comfortable in the bedrooms and living area. The place was spotless and had everything we could need including toiletries, extra bedding, a fully equipped kitchen, a BBQ and a cosy woodstove. Erica was responsive and super helpful with information. We have already made plans to go back with a group of 6 or so to go bushwalking soon.

The Studio Shed, a comfortable, spacious studio with separate modern shower/bathroom, nestled in the quiet valley of rural Broughton Vale, just a 5 minute, 5 km drive to the shops and restaurants of Berry. It has its own private driveway & entrance.

The Studio Shed has a private entrance and is situated on 5 acres of undulating lawns and gardens. Your own driveway winds down through a canopy of trees to the entrance where you'll find yourself tucked away behind the main house, well separated by lush gardens providing complete privacy. Continue on down by foot and explore the 5 acres of garden, dams, vege garden, chickens and a stretch of pasture with surrounding views looking out and up to the ‘Barren Grounds' and ‘Drawing Room Rocks'

We are in a quiet street with your closest neighbour some 400 metres away so peace and quiet is assured.
Quiet country lanes surround us, ideal for long walks or bike riding.
The popular shops and cafes of Berry village are just a 5 minute drive away and pristine "Seven Mile Beach" is under 15 minutes drive.
Local 18 hole golf courses include "Shoalhaven GC", "Gerringong GC" and "Nowra GC", all under 20 minutes drive.
We are happy to pass on our recommended local cafes and restaurants.

Our host Doug was very accomodating and friendly, and was very thorough when welcoming us to the property with a great tour around the grounds and studio where we felt very comfortable to roam where we wished. There was a lovely range of food, teas and coffee available for breakfast the next day, and checking out the next day was a breeze with a lovely chat and relaxed time constraints that really helped make our morning that much better. We will definitely be coming back to stay in the future, and really appreciate the hospitality at Gnithcayton.

Gemma 2016-11-15T00:00:00Z

My wife and I were looking for a quiet weekend escape somewhere beautiful and also not too far from busy Sydney. Doug's Studio Shed not only delivered on our criteria, but exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful visit, highlighted by an immaculately and tastefully kept Studio, situated on acres of beautiful land with chickens, ponds, fruit trees and a very friendly duck. It is well-nestled within beautiful Berry (only a few short minutes drive from the main town), and Doug was super helpful in recommending top notch restaurants in town and suggesting picturesque drives to and from Berry. He also provided us with fresh eggs and bread, bacon, fruits (including from his own trees), chocolates, jams and more. We wish we could have stayed longer, and are already planning our next visit. We highly recommend Doug's Studio Shed!

Sean2016-11-27T00:00:00Z

My partner & I stayed at Doug's delightful property for only one night but the hospitality shown by Doug & his wife was exemplary. The location is absolutely idyllic, the property is surrounded by picturesque countryside while also being located within 10 minutes drive of shops & cafes. The studio is very spacious, more like a cottage with generous dining, lounge & bed areas. The ensuite is fully equipped & modern, including luxuries like heated towel rail. The kitchenette is thoughtfully stocked, with fresh ingredients provided for a hearty complimentary breakfast. Doug welcomed us and provided helpful information regarding nearby walks & made us feel completely at home to explore their beautiful property. We enjoyed a private and cozy stay and would definitely recommend to others - we hope to be back soon!

Jane2017-06-17T00:00:00Z

Without doubt our best experience to date on AirBnB. We loved Doug's Studio Shed. It was beautifully decorated with the best of furnishings, great cooking facilities, very comfortable bed and couch and excellent bathroom. Doug not only provided the makings of a delicious breakfast the first day but also opened up his extensive veggie garden and citrus trees to us. He provided information on local sights, helped us get a New Years Eve booking at a lovely local restaurant and was always ready to provide help if needed. The shed is very private and has a lovely external seating area also. There's wineries and beaches nearby and the town of Berry is 10 minutes away. If you're looking for tranquillity, with all mod cons, this is the place for you - we loved it and will definitely be back !

Simon2017-01-03T00:00:00Z

Our experience at the Studio Shed was amazing! Doug made us feel at home as soon as we arrived and we were extremely well looked after; from the most comfortable bed and beautifully soft linen, to the provided breakfast and relaxing waterside verandah! We would love to stay again.

Louisa, Alistair & Douglas2016-12-18T00:00:00Z

Absolutely loved our stay! Doug and Bett were really welcoming and gave us lots of helpful information about walks and getting around! The place was so cosy and comfortable, just what we needed! We will definitely be back :)

Emma2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

It's a great place for a romantic getaway and for any special occasion. I would highly recommend Doug's accommodation. He even left us 4 fresh eggs from his chooks, fresh bread, bacon, milk etc. Such a hospitable host.

Gerrie2017-03-03T00:00:00Z

Complemented by a sweeping valley panorama, the house is fully equipped, including linen and close to Berry and 20 mins to beach. Late checkout usually.
Sydney Magazine, "The view is captivating, while indulgent accommodation awaits indoors."

Beautiful forrest setting with sweeping valley and mountain view but still close to Berry town. Surrounded by national park and farmland.
Two separate accommodation wings each with own bathroom (shower & bath). Continuous hot water - no running out.
Spacious living area with high ceilings and open fire place. Guests always comment on how well equipped the kitchen is and how they like being connected to the conversations in the sitting/dining areas.
Away is a truly inspirational location. You will experience the many, changing moods of the valley; thick cream white fogs linger in the early morning and dissipate before lunchtime. Clouds rise over the ridges and change colours with the sunset. They race overhead with the strong winds and cascade over the mountains like a misty waterfall. Sunset sweeps up the side of the mountain, casting a golden shadow line and strikes the escarpment behind the house which glows orange in the clear afternoon light.
It is the changing moods of the valley that ensure guests have a unique and rewarding experience each time they stay and explains why we have so many returning guests who comment how different their experience was, depending on the weather even though they stayed at the same time of the year.
Abundant birds; coloured parrots and wombats.

No other houses, the birds and their calls, the sweeping valley view and its moods depending on the weather. The stars at night. You will see what stars are supposed to look like. Washing in and drinking pure rain water.

Ross was a generous and wonderful host, and managed to respond to my queries as quick as a flash. He left no stone unturned, and ensured we had everything we needed. We absolutely loved staying at his beautiful house and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get away from it all, in stunning surroundings. Berry and Kangaroo Valley was close by, and the recommendation to do the Drawing Rooms bush walk was fabulous. We all felt sad to leave the house, and look forward to returning soon. Thank you Ross!

Our Host: What a fantastic host Ross is, without actually being there! He was really good with personal communication, promptly answering every question we had, no matter where he was in the world. Getting There: The description was accurate, and was what we expected. It was nice to have some personalized "getting there" instructions as the last Km or two of the drive was narrow winding road plunging into a valley. Very helpful if getting there in the dark! The House: The house is totally lovely, and very spacious. Everything we needed was there, including some extras (candles and matches, how nice!). The back of the house faces the valley with a most beautiful view of it. There are 3 double bedrooms and 1 with 2 single beds, in 2 wings, with a bathroom in each wing. The kitchen, dining & living areas are one huge space running the entire length of the house, facing that fantastic view, with a deck and nice dining table out the 2 sets of double doors. Lovely! The Neighbourhood: You pass precisely 2 houses on the same road before reaching "Away". Plus a few cows, goats and ducks! It's a delightful "neighbourhood".

Jane2015-06-02T00:00:00Z

Ross's house is amazing. The view was as you see it with the beautiful mountains in the background. The house is large with 3 double bedrooms and 2 single beds in one room. There are 2 fireplaces to keep you warm when it was cooler and a beautiful deck that you can sit back and read or just enjoy the view. I would recommend this airbnb host and place to others. We will definitely be back. Thanks Ross.

Michael2016-10-22T00:00:00Z

Don't think twice, just book! It's a beautiful place to stay. The view (!!!!!!) Photos do not do the place justice. It's stunning.

An absolutely beautiful house with amazing views.Ross made sure we had all the information we needed.If you want to get away from it all and feel like you are amongst nature this is the place.We had a wonderful time

Amy2015-11-02T00:00:00Z

Hidden gem. Love the area. Soo quiet and peaceful. The house is well equipped. Plenty of cutlery and crockery. Stove top and gas barbecue. You can cook or go to Berry or Kangaroo Valley for dinner. will come back for sure.

fully self sufficient farm using bio farming and polyface farming principals the area is full of magnificent Wild life and gorgeous mountain walks .There is a dam and creek through the property.

There are plenty of animals, walks ,water holes and both Berry and Kangaroo Valley have a host of shops, groovy cafes and restaurants.

What an amazing place! Perfect location - short drive to perfect water holes or beaches but also near Berry with lovely cafes and vineyards in the area. Beverly is a lovely host with an interesting story; she also knows all the good spots nearby. Accommodation is spacious and simple - no unnecessary decadence, ideal for the more environmentally conscious minded. Loved being woken up by the wildlife and seeing a clear night sky. Would have loved to stay longer but will probably be back. Thank you!

Bettina2015-01-19T00:00:00Z

Beverley was an absolutely AMAZING host. The property where we stayed was an idyllic and quiet place. The barn we stayed in was very spacious and was well cleaned. I really appreciated Beverley's attention to maintaining a environmentally friendly place. The water supply was all rain water, and the toilets were compost and very clean! By far the best part of our stay was learning about Beverley and her farm. She was very generous with her time and explained to us all about her farm and her polyface farming techniques. We even got to herd the neighbors cows, and help pick the vegetables we ate for dinner! Our group all had an amazing time, and we hope to visit again soon. I would definitely recommend visiting Beverley's oasis to anyone!!!

Steve Doo2015-01-06T00:00:00Z

Had a great time on the farm, Bev was a warm host and very welcoming. Its a amazing part of the world, literally minutes from some very scenic drives. Loved it.

aaron2015-07-15T00:00:00Z

We loved our stay at Beverlys ecobarn. It's nicely furnished and the fire warmed the place very nicely. It's a little rustic and suited us to a tea. Beverly was very welcoming and so generous with her time. We really enjoyed our little tour of her productive garden. Thank you Beverly we look forward to visiting again!

Nicole2015-07-28T00:00:00Z

A weekend in nature was just what I needed! Bevererly is a great host and very inspiring person. I enjoyed the peacefulness, stillness and harmony with nature at her place. There was a warm and cosy fire waiting for me when I arrived and its a great location to explore the Berry and Kangaroo valley area.

Sandra2015-05-04T00:00:00Z

Beverley was a great host. From the moment i rode my motorcycle up into the surrounding hill and then up her driveway into her property i knew i chose the right place. It was exactly what i was looking for. A get away in nature away from the busy city life. I was immediately immensed in nature. A beautiful self sufficent eco farm. The accomadtion was more then comfy had more comforts then i required. Beverley is an enlightened successful lady. Who is passionate about a down to earth life that is contagious. She generously made me a few superfood meals which were healthy and fabulous tasting. I was warmling welcomed like part of the family. If you are a down to earth person looking to get away and just relax in nature this is the place go.

jared2015-11-01T00:00:00Z

My family took a vacation and stayed at Beverley's beautiful eco-farm house. The location is perfectly situated in the Kangaroo Valley, not far a drive to the beach or into the mountains / national parks. Plenty to do and see in the area. The farm itself is interesting, built with love and care, the family loved the environment and all the animals. Beverley was friendly, flexible and in many ways inspiring with her chosen lifestyle. We had spacious barn that was divided into two floors all to ourselves. It is a perfect place for our family holiday. If you want a few days of retreat, this place is not to be missed.

Wyatt2014-12-27T00:00:00Z

Really refreshing place in a great location. Great place to forget about the rat race and the trappings of city life. Bev's model of self sufficiency and sustainable living is inspiring and thought provoking.

A fantastic property with amazing views! We had a fabulous time and only wish we could have stayed longer. The location between kangaroo valley and berry is very easy and the cottage had everything we needed!

Georgie2017-05-28T00:00:00Z

We had the best stay at this location- we will definitely be back- beautiful, remote yet convenient for everything you need.

We had an absolutely heavenly stay at Eva and Peter's lovely cottage. The view as soon as you arrive really hits you and we just spent hours looking at the mist rise and fall in the valley and took in the immense peace of this place. The hosts have created a beautiful and welcoming space, generously providing eggs, honey and marmalade - all made on site, not to mention bread, tomatoes and yoghurt. The eggs and honey from their farm are the best experienced! We loved walking to the waterfall and exploring the beautiful surrounds. The cottage itself is immaculate and has all you need for a very enjoyable stay. Above all Eva and Peter are just the greatest people, I'd love to return and hang out and hear their stories from around the globe :). Thank you both for everything!

Brooke2015-11-15T00:00:00Z

Heggy's cottage is the perfect weekend getaway. Leave your electronic devices at home and escape the city for peace and quiet in the Kangaroo Valley. Enjoying a glass of bubbles while watching the sun set in the valley was a major highlight.

Jason2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

Absolutely loved this cottage. The property and views are breath taking. 10 out of 10.

Suz2016-05-09T00:00:00Z

What a beautiful stay! We arrived Friday evening and were so excited for the sun to come up so we could see the postcard views Heggy's Cottage had to offer. And we weren't disappointed! It was just breathtaking, looking over Kangaroo Valley. We were then spoilt with fresh eggs, honey (from the bees kept on the property), homemade marmalade and toast and other delights for breakfast. Heggy's is only 10 mins from Berry and the KV townships, so after breakfast we trotted into town for a coffee and a shop! And then there was the private waterfall at Heggy's and beautiful bush walks in the area. We had such a great time and Eva was a perfect host. Highly recommended holiday stay and the great weekend getaway!

Things to do in the local area
Head down to beautiful Seven Mile Beach National Park, Gerroa, which is only a 20 minute drive from Broughton Ridge. Extending from Shoalhaven Heads east of Nowra, to Gerroa in the north, Seven Mile Beach National Park is a small coastal park packed with options for everyone. Head to the "Berry Beach" picnic area at the end of Beach Road for a game of beach cricket and a BBQ (gas BBQs and toilets locatedin the picnic ground). Wander up to the lookout and take in the stunning ocean views and golden sandy beach stretching into the distance.
Experience the unique coastal environment on the Sand Track. Walk through the forest, admiring the plants and local wildlife, then kick off your shoes and feel the sand between your toes as you stroll back along the beach.
Pack a gourmet picnic and spend a lazy afternoon under the shade of a nearby tree at secluded spots like the Gerroa picnic area. Then get away from it all and enjoy a long walk on the beach, with only the crashing waves to disturb the peace.
Pop down to Berry, an historic village only 10 minutes down the mountain, and visit the award-winning Treat Factory (jams, preserves, chocolates, cake baking equipment), Pompodours Chocolate House Berry, South Coast Providores (preserves, Locavore Friday, balsamic vinegars and oils), The Berry Teashop (tea, teacups, tea cosies, everything to do with tea, plus a cafe for tea and scones).
Berry also has some terrific restaurants and cafes:South on Albany, Berry Woodfired Sourdough Bakery Cafe, Mezzadella's Woodfired Pizzas, Savanna Cafe, Delicious Cafe, Berry Thai, The Berry Hotel and the Great Southern Hotel.
Head in the opposite direction for about 20 mins to reach Kangaroo Valley shops and cafes. Try Cafe Bella, the Kangaroo Valley Friendly Inn, Bistro One46, Jing Jo Cafe and Restaurant, the Kangaroo Valley Fudge House and Ice Creamery. While there you could hire a canoe from Kangaroo Valley Kayaks or take a guided or self-guided kayak or canoe trip with Kangaroo Valley Safaris. If you are keen on horses, you could organise a horse ride with the Man From Kangaroo Valley Trail Ride.
Bush Walkers: Drawing Room Rocks (4km return, grade 4-5, 2 hrs walk). At the top of Woodhill Mountain, turn north into Brogers Creek Road. Drive along this road for 0.2km. Turn right at mail box (this is a public road) and park at sign marked Barren Grounds Nature Reserve. Walk on the road for a short distance to the first grid. Do not pass through the gateway as it marks off private property. Look for the little sign on the fence which states to Barren Grounds with an arrow pointing to the right. Now follow an old single land walking track leading up to the ridge. It becomes steep in places but is good walking. After a while you walk to the left of the ridge under a spectacular sandstone formation. There is a zig-zag half way up which is easy to see. The upper section of the track is overgrown in paces while still being fairly easy to follow to the top of the ridge. Once there, the Drawing Room is easy to identify as there are rocks that resemble tables and chairs. (Please do not sit on the chair overhanging the cliff and note that there is no further access into Barren Grounds Nature Reserve from here). From Drawing Room Rocks you are rewarded with one of the best coastal views Australia has to offer. Look down on Gerroa, Seven Mile Beach National Park, Nowra, Berry, the Shoalhaven River, the ocean and Kangaroo Valley.
Birdwatching: Barren Grounds Nature Reserve provides important habitat protection for endangered birds such as the ground parrot.

The place was absolutely amazing, the place was clean and super cozy! It had a wonderful view of the mountains and was the perfect weekend getaway! Thanks Alison :)

Stephanie2016-10-15T00:00:00Z

What a great little cottage. It was easy to find and the photos of the cottage are accurate. All in the location up on top of the mountain was perfect. To be so close to the coast yet way up in the clouds. We had a ball found everything in the cottage was excellent.Will recommend the cottage to our friends.

This cottage is just beautiful and gave us the much need break that we needed. The surroundings are beautiful and we enjoyed being able to go for walks or a short trip into Berry for coffee. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer!

Miranda2015-11-01T00:00:00Z

Beautiful and cute cottage with everything you need for a great city getaway! Definitely recommendable :)

Michael2015-10-25T00:00:00Z

A perfect getaway, this cottage was more than I was hoping for to treat my girlfriend for her birthday. The charmingly renovated cottage blended the traditional building with modern expectations such as heated bathroom flooring and fireplace. The setting was beautiful, and watching the sunset behind the Drawing Room Rocks ridge just after walking it was spectacular, great recommendation from our host! Highly recommend!

Lovely secluded cottage ideal for a relaxing weekend away.

Helen2017-05-22T00:00:00Z

Alison's place was located close to Berry and the beautiful surroundings of this area. The cottage was accurately described and beautifully presented. We were very comfortable and all facilities including a heated floor in the bathroom and a kitchen with all utensils and pots and pans made preparing meals easy. The air conditioned bedroom made sleeping very comfortable. The cottage has scenic views in peaceful surroundings. Alison was very approachable and easy to communicate with. We had a wonderful stay and hope to stay in the cottage again.

Jean2016-11-26T00:00:00Z

We were welcomed with a lovely bottle of wine and an impeccably clean cottage that far exceeded our expectations. The apartment was beautiful and the location was even more so. It was very rainy on our visit but the warmth of the cottage more than made up for it.

A secluded and natural Wonderland! This is an exceptional rural holiday retreat
Picture a relaxed, elegant country home where you can sit silently listening to the nearby creek bubbling over time-washed river stones, do some yoga on the private, secluded deck, walk through rainforest, watch wallabies graze or generally chill out with a group of friends. This property is a really special place.

Located half way between Berry and Kangaroo Valley, it is rare that properties such as this are offered for holiday rental and ideal space for practicing yoga.
Only 2 km from the main road, across a creek, this property seems to be miles away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
A gravel road and a creek ford make access best for 4 wheel or All-Wheel-drive vehicles. The creek can rise quickly with rain, but goes back down again quickly when the rain ceases. The property won't be available for rental if there is prolonged heavy rain.

Bring your easel and paints to capture the beautiful countryside.
Visit Kangaroo Valley shops and cafes, sample some freshly made fudge at the Fudge Shop, canoe Kangaroo River, go horse riding, take some hikes through the bush.
It's only a 16 minute drive down the mountain to Berry where you will find a range of wonderful, award-winning restaurants and cafes - The Hungry Duck, South on Albany, The Berry Sourdough Bakery and Cafe, Mezzadella's Woodfired Pizza and Tapas, Just Delicious Cafe.
Take a Gourmet Food and Wine tour of the region to sample local delights: Foodscape Tour

Great place, had everything we needed. One of the great places, I will return.

We had such a wonderful stay at the Black Dog Creek property. The house is stunning and very well equipped which made our time there very comfortable. The secluded property is beautiful and we enjoyed taking short strolls by the creek. Despite the fact that you feel a million miles away from the city it is very close to both Berry and Kangaroo Valley and we enjoyed visiting both towns. The kitchen it fantastic with everything you need to cook a feast while you are there. We will definitely be back in the summer to stay again!

Kate2015-06-08T00:00:00Z

What an absolutely magical place to stay, so peaceful and private. So much amazing wildlife and beautiful surrounds. The house is spacious, cozy and so well equipped, especially the kitchen. We didn't want to leave!

Vita2016-09-25T00:00:00Z

The area was amazing, on a creek that is flowing and its nice an quiet. Neighbors are over 1km away. House is amazing, lots of room and beds are very comfortable. Has central heating as well as a log fire in the living room. 2 patios off the living also. Apart from driving past it in the dark and going a little off road past it (made it an adventure i guess). Only Telstra has a signal to, if your looking at being off the grid :)

Wilderberry was absolutely amazing. The cottage was even better than the photos. We enjoyed the peace and quiet in between the mountains, coffee in front of the fireplace, comfy bed and relaxing in the tub. It was also handy having a full kitchen to cook in. Would definitely recommend as a short escape from Sydney and would love to return!

debbie2016-05-08T00:00:00Z

If you want a romantic and relaxing place - you must stay at Wilderberry! Absolutely loved it and was very hard leaving.

Saman2017-08-08T00:00:00Z

The property is beautiful and the little details are what made this stay so memorable. Thank you for a wonderful getaway. We will be back soon

Cassandra2015-11-15T00:00:00Z

Everything was exactly as described. Location was easy to find, beautiful surroundings. Quality of the place was extremely high. Everything was immaculate on arrival. There is mobile phone reception within the place too. Kitchen is well stocked which makes it great to stay in and enjoy a meal and open a great bottle of wine. Highly recommended and would definitely stay again.

anthony2016-01-25T00:00:00Z

Everything about the stay was 5 stars. The cottage is perfectly situated and the hospitality was unparalleled. We had a great time.

Sheridan2015-12-10T00:00:00Z

We stayed for 2 nights at this wonderful place. It's a very well designed cottage with all the comforts you need including a cozy fireplace, huge bath and comfortable bed. Jude and Damon were also extremely helpful in any questions or requests we had. I would recommend this place to all my friends!

Ross2015-07-19T00:00:00Z

We loved it! We were sad to leave but will definitely be back. The cottage is amazing and beautifully decorated. We were greeted with a bottle of champagne (which went down a treat) and a gorgeous view. Jude and Damon are the perfect hosts and I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone needing an escape!

Megan2015-11-18T00:00:00Z

Wilderberry is a lovely little place. Bath is twice as big as photos depict. Perfect distance from town, close but secluded. Take caution if you bring your long term girlfriend/boyfriend here, the guestbook recounts lots of proposals!

Our stay at Mt Hay was wonderful! Anthony and Louise were so friendly and helpful. They sent us information before we arrived so we could enhance our trip, pulled out the BBQ for us when we wanted to cook our own breakfast and gave us food to feed the fish with. The room was fantastic; very modern with a great design and fantastic views. It is a lovely place to go for a weekend escape. The swing was also a highlight!!

Stephanie2015-09-28T00:00:00Z

Outstanding. The property has an incredible aspect, looking back over Berry to the coast. The balcony (& bath) are a perfect spot for an arvo sip. Anthony is excellent, very relaxed and a valuable source of local's knowledge. Highly recommended.

Joseph2015-07-06T00:00:00Z

My wife and myself could not have been made more welcome by Anthony. Great location, superb accommodation and very attentive and flexible hosts. Brian and Catherine

Brian2016-01-10T00:00:00Z

Gorgeous location!! Never seen Berry from this point before... Particularly enjoyed the location of the swing perched atop the hill with the full view of the rolling hills and valleys and sea in the distance :-D Anthony was very easy going and willing to help in any way he could. We accidentally assumed there was a full kitchen and brought food to cook- unfortunately the suite only contains a little kitchenette with toaster, coffee machine & fridge (however Anthony kindly arranged a microwave for us to do a make-shift dinner)- I think the idea is to go out for dinner in Berry! Another delightful feature was the outdoor bath overlooking the valley- so serene! Would love to go back :)

Genevieve2015-08-03T00:00:00Z

Booked a last minute weekend for my partner and I as a surprice, Anthony & Louise were wonderful to deal with and assisted with arranging a bottle of champagne for our arrival, the accommodation itself is perfect - private, beautiful bed and a view to die for. Waking up to rain on the roof and a morning bubble bath was an added bonus! Thank you for a wonderful weekend Anthony & Louise, we'll definitely be back.

Saskia2017-01-14T00:00:00Z

What a lovely place! Anthony and Louise were very nice and always happy to help when needed. Really appreciate their thoughtfulness and effort to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Experiencing the room itself was definitely nicer than what we could imagine through the listing pictures! Loved the huge bathroom with the little view, loved the spacious and clean room, and loved the view from the balcony! We enjoyed the pool very much too! It was clean, big and private. Exploring the grounds was fun as well. As mentioned by other guests, the huge swing on top of the hill was a very lovely spot. Thanks Anthony and Louise for the wonderful time. :)

Sam2015-11-16T00:00:00Z

An ultimate escape with views of the world. A definite must for those looking for something special and unique. Lovely hosts!

Tim2015-12-02T00:00:00Z

Very comfortable and relaxing holiday place. Highly recommend for those who are looking to get away from a busy city life.
